Description

Discussed in https://github.com/github/linguist/discussions/5904

Originally posted by hassan75016 May 22, 2022 Hello - it seems like GitHub linguist does not recognize DAX language. Syntax is properly formatted and color coded in VS code however, GitHub code preview always shows it as plain text. The files are properly saved as .dax files. Lengthy DAX code in plain text makes it very difficult for contributors to understand. Please add support for this language. Screenshot attached for reference. Thanks.
